Answer 1

In the "change presentation to" option choose VS Code builtin notebook output renderer(vscode.builtin-notebook-renderer). You may be facing the issue because the Jupyter extension version is marking it to something else.

Happy coding!!

Updates extension to the latest version or use a pre-release version.

In addition, this may be related to your operation method. You can use the following method to clear the output in the output panel.
